No truer words

CJR exerpts from a Solaris Hill Weekly editorial on the glurgeathon just completed in Florida:

"Yet one more piece of fallout from this public trauma is that all of the news bunnies of local television seem to have rushed back to RTVMP school to learn how to squeeze every last drop of sanctimony and false sincerity out of their voices. From one end of the television dial to the other, young men and women, well-coifed, well-dressed and sharp-jawed, speak ever so unctuously about things they do not know. Terri Schiavo's wretched condition has given them yet one more level of hyped emotion with which they can communicate their plastic understanding."
